dotty with jazzy knees

17_DASH

[wearing]
grandma sweater: thrifted
magenta tights: welovecolors (similar)
belt: thrifted
plaid skirt: thrifted and six inches chopped off (similar)
boots: target (exactly)
necklace: made by me (similar)


i've had these tights for several years and have finally figured out what to wear them with.  apparently, the answer was taupe boots and a plaid skirt.
or maybe that's the question--jeopardy style.  and the response is "what are bright magenta tights?" i bet watson wouldn't get that one right. it must be his lack of knees.

  4. Those are some seriously jazzy knees! I love the bright color and graphic check of the skirt with the neutral boots and sweater, they strike a really excellent balance.

  20. Very cute. I was thinking of buying some red tights, but now you've influenced me to lookf for a magenta like color...I think its a little more "me" than red anyway!
